Application filed June 15, 1915, Seria1No. 34,1 11'.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, MICHAEL PARIDON, a citizen of the United States, and resident of Barberton, in the county of Summit and State of Ohio, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Processes of Making Reinforced Boxes, of which the following is a specification. I The object of this invention is to provide a simple, eflicient andjeconomical process of making rectan ular paper or paste-board boxes having relnforced end walls.

In carryin out my invention in the preferred way, Iglue or otherwise secure atv regular intervals apart to a strip of paper, paste-board or other suitable box material,

' transversely of the strip, sections of reinforcing material which are each in length substantially equal to the width of a box, and in width substantially twice the hei ht of an end wall of a box. I then preferably slit the strip longitudinally thereof at or adjacent the ends of the sections, and score a the strip longitudinally and transversely thereof, the longitudinal scoring being on lines interrupted by the longitudinal slits, and the transverse scoring being on lines adjacent the longitudinal edges of the sections. I then cut the strip on transverse lines medially of the respective sections to form box blanks. I then bend the margins. of each of the blanks along its longitudinal score lines to form side walls. I then bend inward the slitted ends of the sides to produce corner folds, and finally I bend the reinforced portions of the blank on its transverse score lines and secure such portions to v the opposing corner folds to form end Walls.

The resulting product is a rectangular box comprising a bottom, side walls and effectually reinforced end walls. 7

able box material; 6 the reinforcing sections thereon of similar material; 7 the longitudinal slits in the stripv at the ends of the sections, and 8 and 9 the longitudinal and transverse score or fold lines respectively in the strip. The strip structure is cut transversely thereof, on lines medially of the reinforcingsections, as indicated in Fig. 2, thus producing box blanks of the character illustrated in Fig. 3, that is to say, each successive blank comprises a rectangular bottom portion a, reinforced end portions 6 and side portions 0 having end tongues d. Each of the blanks is folded as above described, the reinforced end'walls being glued or otherwise secured to the corner folds constituted by the end tongues, to produce the box shown in Fig. 4:; which box comprises a bottom 0., side walls 0 havin end corner folds d, and reinforced end wal s b.

In practising the process above described there is no waste material'in the formation, application or division of the reinforcing sections. These'sections can be readily cut in continuous succession material of proper width, and as rapidly as they are out they can be applied to the body strip in spaced relation to each other.

from a strip of i In the severance of the stripinto box blanks each of the sections is me ally divided to provide reinforcin elements for the adjacent end portions 0 two blanks.v

I claim F 1. A process of making reinforced boxes, H

which consists in securing at regular intervals apart to a strip of box material transverse reinforcing sections of material of less length than the width of the strip, cuttlng the' stri .on transverse lines medially of the sections to form successive box blanks which consists in securing at regular intervals apart to a strip of box material transverse remforcing sections of material of less length than the width of the strip; slitting the stri longitudinally thereof adjacent the ends-o ,the sections; cutting the strip on E 1 v moaeee inforced portions of the blank to form the end Walls of the box.
